The Sublime Porte

The building of the porte, called sub
lime. is. or was. a kind of long. low
barracks, without style and without
beauty. A fire destroyed part of it
some years ago.
The phrase sublime porte is APP
piled to both the building and the adj
ministration, two things that are inn
portant. but neither the one nor the
other is sublime This word has. how
ever, q very ancient origin. When the
Turks. long before the conquest, were
only hordes of Tartars and nomads.
their chiefs or sultans were in the habit
of dispensing justice at the door of
their tent. There the cad assembled
and heard the complaint and then the
defense. The sultan appeared upon
the spot only at the conclusion OF the
trial to get the opinions of the Judges
and to render his decision. To go to
the porte was for the Turks the equiva-
lent of seeking justice at the hands OF
| the sultan and his eounselors.
AS to the pompous epithet sublime
| coupled with this poor porte. it Is one
| Of those Oriental speeches that the
| Rattery of the weak has bestowed
| voluntarily upon the tyranny Of the
| strong. The Turkish language abounds
in these qualifcatives-highness. ex-
| celence, divine. celestial, sublime
which IN our day and in the West of
fcnd the dignity of those that receive
them, but which one in the East can
freely bestow upon high personages
without laughing or making them
laugh. IN. Juitiard IN the CosiaopoIt-

"A Lyiu' Old Wing.

A story of southern politics was picked
up ut Thomasville by Mr.. Van Zandt. A
politician who was running for Office
desired to secure the negro vote and
had bought up a colored preacher who
agreed for Sl5 to make an address to
his congregation in favor of the candi-
date. The politician said to the clergy
man: Il think the best way for you to
influence your people is to let them I'M
derstand that | am neither II Democrat
nor Republican, bur an old line Wing.
1t is best to break up the feeling that
exists between Democrats and Republic
cans and start out on the new line, and
this is just as good time as any to do
it.' When the clergyman got up in
his pulpit and began talking to his
audience he followed the advice of the
politician in this manner: My deaf

The next dav came INVITATIONS to the
grand Court Ball on Thursday. Il isa

two Of them. i remember.
The Queen opened Inc first one viii,

first ouadrile was over Count Gianatfj.
the favorite fir end Of the KING. tho
Court Chamberlain. afa,uous. handsome
Piedmontese, signal!ed 10 the dancers
that the floor was open 10 them.
The King stands about looking very
soidier-like, but talking little. Hum
bert is a very patriotic and popular
King. bat he is not d man OF society.
He leaves all that to the Queen, and
she does it admirably. He is worth
look ng at; he is ''every inch king.
and he is extremely democratic. Il IL
pleasant to see him driving around
Rome, and taking off his hat all the
time. No royal state. no guards, no
servants, except the groom behind him.
After the dancing, supper WAS in

| with the best supper possible. The
housekeeping at the Quirinal is good.
They give you of that famous Italian
cookery, which Is so delicious. never
ate such trufiies!
i Sometime during the evening the
Queen disappeared. Royalty does not
sup in public in Italy. In England. at
the Queens Bali, royalty does sup in
public. 1t is curious this difference Of
etiquette in different cities.
Quite the prettiest sight at the
Qeren's Ball in London is to see royalty

music before the rest OF the world and
bow to their friends and acquaintance
as they pass.
The Queen Of Italy moves about

eious, and a presentation to her is far
more personal and more fattering than
anything at the English Court.
